For a bunch of folks who lose their mind about "tHe gRoUpS," these people sure do love starting groups.

Today, @nynurses.bsky.social begins WEEK 5 of their indefinite strike. Here's a solidarity action for all New Yorkers:

Governor Hochul has issued executive orders making it easier for the hospitals to hire strike-breaker nurses.

Demand Hochul rescind her order immediately: (518) 474-8390

Childcare Providers Around the Country Are Being Targeted by Vigilante Surveillance In response to bogus allegations of fraud in Minnesota, strangers are filming them, knocking on their doors, demanding to be let in. It’s scaring parents and costing providers.

The Minnesota ICE occupation started with a video by rightwing Youtuber Nick Shirley, who claimed without evidence to uncover fraud in Somali-American daycares. He has since gone to California and has been harassing childcare owners there. I spoke to one of them: www.thenation.com/article/soci...

that latest ad, for Ai.com, made the connection between the 2022 “crypto bowl” and this one explicit

we're doing Macbeth very strongly

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love.”

MAGA wanted you to boycott this.

substance aside, beautiful use of color. it was so pretty.

crying

I just turned it on because it seemed like it was gonna be bad bunny time soon and took so much psychic damage from those commercials holy shit

they started with the song that calls the president a nazi?

Genuinely doesnt feel possible to me that there could be a world without these. Truly think they are the perfect form of book.

My IRL friend's dad, a Laotian refugee, was seized by ICE and sent to a concentration camp in El Paso. His family is fundraising to afford legal fees. I'd really appreciate it if you could help. gofund.me/383933317

Republicans are the party of separating and destroying families | Moira Donegan Their ‘pro-family’ rhetoric is a cynical and hollow sham

"The people tearing these loved ones apart are often the very same people who have spent so much of the past several years lecturing the American people, and in particular American women, about the importance of parenthood and family," writes @moiradonegan.bsky.social.

they should invent a temperature that is higher than 0

What if someone told Ossoff immigrants are working-class too?

I think I mentioned this before, but I hope my all fellow Gen Xers have a recent measles booster. I discovered I was below immunity level after my doctor thought I should get tested. (And it won’t hurt you to get one even if you don’t need to.)

Hiring the guy who torched Tumblr as the Washington Post CEO is one of the more blatant examples of how failure is a feature of the role. Not only can C suite people fuck up on a massive scale with no consequences, there is strategic value in dropping a fuckup into a role like that

Toddler hospitalized with respiratory failure was returned to ICE detention without prescribed medication, lawsuit says The 18-month-old was sent back to a South Texas facility after days in intensive care with severe respiratory distress, according to a federal lawsuit.

NEW: A baby held in immigration detention became so sick, she had to be rushed to a hospital in severe respiratory distress.

“She was at the brink of dying,” a lawyer told me.

But the girl didn’t go home after her 10-day hospital stay; instead, ICE put her and her mother back in lock up at Dilley.

The chorus of Manchild with the muppet chickens has been stuck in my head for days.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

did we discuss the part of the NBC commentary for the opening ceremony where the guy said something like "DID YOU KNOW that you can make all the shades from just those three colors?" like it was a genuine fun fact

During the NBC broadcast I noticed they were looping cheer noises during this part and had to assume that meant he was being booed.

But Liam was scared and frequently asked what they had done wrong, where they were and what happened to the little blue knit hat he wore the day he was detained, Conejo said. There wasn’t much he could say to his son, “except hug him and tell him everything would be OK,” Conejo said. Worried about further upsetting his son, Conejo said, he was forced to bite back his own tears.

Liam has since been reunited with his hat and continues to wear it, even inside the house, his dad said Thursday. Asked how he might one day explain to Liam everything that has happened, Conejo said he would tell his son that he had become the face of hope and change. "He was the global figure who did all this so that the voices of the people demanding freedom would be heard, especially those of the children who are still locked up," Conejo said. “I would tell him he was very brave and that I am very proud of him.”

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

george conway stop fucking texting me challenge

Good time as ever to re-up this:

"Aren't people tired of me asking why Governor Hochul hates me, all disabled people, and CDPAP program participants? I'm certainly tired of asking." –Geri Mariano

I feel sad for all of the kids who don't even dream of learning this kind of history because we've created a culture where it doesn't feel possible or relevant

I graduated into the recession so I ended up on minimum wage for many years after my whimsical degree, but at least it also taught me critical theory and exposed me to real feminist and marxist scholarship so I could make sense of it all after.
